Question

There is ------- water in a well... Fill the blank with a determiner

Answer 1

Answer:

There is a little water in a well.

Answer 2

There is a little water in the well.

• Water is the noun in this statement, and it is an uncountable noun. We now use "few" and "a few" in the plural form of countable nouns, and "small" and "a little" in the plural form of uncountable nouns.
• "A few" cannot be used since water is an uncountable word. On the other hand, when more water is requested in the second half of the statement, it implies that there is less water in the well. As a result, "much" cannot be used here.
• Finally, "many" is incorrect because it is used for countable nouns. To clarify why we use "a little" rather than "little," "little" signifies "hardly any" and "a little" means "some."
• As a result, 'a little' is the answer to the question.
